Big Rig Driver Negligence

Truck drivers are required by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) to follow a strict set of regulations. FMCSA regulations determine how long a driver can drive without taking a break, how many hours a driver can work in one day, and how fast and how far the driver can go. Disregard for these regulations results in many of the thousands of big rig accidents that happen across the nation every year. A truck driver found to have acted negligently or carelessly by violating FMCSA regulations might be held responsible for the accident and injury.

Holding Trucking Companies Responsible and Accountable

Just as truck drivers are held to a safety and operating standard, so are their employers, the trucking companies. In fact, in most big rig accident cases the trucking company is held responsible for the actions of their drivers. Many times during the accident investigation, it is discovered that trucking companies were violating FMCSA regulations, subsequently causing a truck driver to act in a manner that risked the safety of other motorists. For example, a truck driver may drive beyond the approved hours meet an unrealistic deadline demand placed on them by the trucking company. Trucking companies must realize that their disregard for safety and operating regulations is causing the deaths of innocent victims each year. The trucking companies negligent or careless behavior must stop and the California big rig accident lawyers at Estey Bomberger are prepared to hold trucking companies responsible for their actions.
